But but but the Flames are a
community asset. It's not about the money, it's about civic pride! Philanthropy! Making more money isn't a concern of Flames ownership. It's all for the good of the community.
Personally, I can't afford a luxury suite, but I can totally see why my tax dollars should go towards building an arena so the people who can afford one will have a nicer place to watch the game. Why should the people who can afford the luxury suite have to pay for it themselves? Why shouldn't everyone pitch in for my cable bill so I can watch every Flames game? It's all about the community!
